Notches eight points Nelson-Ododa contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-5 FT) and two rebounds over 19 minutes during Sunday's 87-78 loss to the Liberty.

Impact After seeing at least 25 minutes in back-to-back games, Nelson-Ododa's minutes were back in the teens Sunday. With Aneesah Morrow thriving, it's hard to imagine the Sun going back to Nelson-Ododa with the starters.

Full stat line in loss Nelson-Ododa recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two assists across 25 minutes in Monday's 101-85 loss to the Storm.

Impact Nelson-Ododa bounced back from a scoreless outing in Sunday's win over Golden State, during which she logged just nine minutes. The 24-year-old delivered a well-rounded performance Monday, recording a game- and season-high-tying mark in steals while also leading the Sun in blocks. Over her last five appearances (three starts), Nelson-Ododa has averaged 7.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 21.4 minutes per game.

Scoreless in nine minutes Nelson-Ododa registered one block over nine minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 95-64 win over the Valkyries.

Impact Nelson-Ododa was replaced by Aneesah Morrow in the starting five in a move that could stick for the Sun -- Morrow nearly double-doubled in 24 minutes, helping the Sun snap a three-game losing streak. If Sunday was any indication, Nelson-Ododa's fantasy appeal is in trouble.

JULY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Sunday Nelson-Ododa won't start in Sunday's game against the Valkyries.

Impact With Aneesah Morrow joining the starting five, Nelson-Ododa will slide to the second unit for just the third time this season. Over her last five appearances, the 24-year-old center has averaged 9.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 26.4 minutes per game.

Notches 17 points in loss Nelson-Ododa racked up 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 29 minutes during Thursday's 101-86 loss to Los Angeles.

Impact Nelson-Ododa snapped out of her cold spell Thursday, scoring in double digits for just the second time in her last six outings. The Sun have lost four straight games and are in need of a spark, so it will be interesting to see if Nelson-Ododa can build some momentum off this performance.

Notches six points in loss Nelson-Ododa had six points (3-9 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 85-77 loss to the Fever.

Impact Nelson-Ododa has cooled off for the Sun, scoring a combined 10 points over her last two outings. With Tina Charles commanding so much usage and Aneesah Morrow playing well off the bench, Nelson-Ododa's fantasy appeal is trending in the wrong direction.

Muted performance in loss Nelson-Ododa provided four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds over 24 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 92-88 loss to the Sparks.

Impact Nelson-Ododa posted a dud Sunday, but she was heating up prior to this loss which means fantasy managers should cut her some slack. In 23.6 minutes per night this season, Nelson-Ododa holds averages of 8.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.4 blocks while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Nears double-double in loss Nelson-Ododa racked up 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks across 32 minutes during Friday's 79-65 loss to the Storm.

Impact Nelson-Ododa came two rebounds shy of a double-double Friday. She has recorded a double-double eight times during the 2025 campaign, consistently scoring and rebounding for Connecticut.

Sees 25 minutes in win Nelson-Ododa ended Wednesday's 93-83 win over the Storm with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks across 25 minutes.

Impact Nelson-Ododa was replaced in the starting lineup at halftime by Aneesah Morrow, with the Sun ending a 10-game losing streak in the process. Despite this rotation tweak, Nelson-Ododa still played a sizable role Wednesday, and fantasy managers shouldn't panic given how volatile the rotations can be in Connecticut.
